GeekWire reports about an ex-Google engineer’s vision to merge the Bible with social media in his website ooBible.

“We wanted a clean, simple interface, something that people can come in, and really just focus on the words,” Wong tells GeekWire. “We wanted to create an experience that mimics physical books, so you can highlight, annotate on it … and bridge the gap between physical books and the e-book world.” Wong isn’t limiting his scope to the Bible, with plans to create what he calls “e-books on steroids” for other popular titles. He also sees opportunity around textbooks. But the Bible makes sense from a market perspective in part because people routinely pick-up a copy throughout their lives.

“It is really perfect for collaboration and sharing,” said Wong. “You can imagine a pastor sharing notes with their congregation or doing a Bible study with a group of friends.”

But his competition is great. The article said a search of the Bible at the Kindle store comes up with 14,030 titles. His greatest competition comes from BibleGateway. The GeekWire article has a video demo of the interface.
